Do you have an exercise routine? Yes

What is it? Gym, walking and soccer

How many days a week do you exercise? Every single day

How long is each session? Walking and gym are 1 hour each, soccer is 90 mins.

Do you see a Personal Trainer? I used to, I got great results from him, but now can't justify paying for one now that we are on one wage.

Do you go to the gym? Yes, 3 times per week, sometimes more.

How much is the membership?
$550 per year as I paid it in full when I joined.

What is it?  I use exercise DVDs, mostly weight training but also pilates occasionally.

How many days a week do you exercise? 3 days doing the DVD exercises and walk for 45 mins everyday

How long is each session? range from 40 - 55 mins

Do you see a Personal Trainer? no

How much do they cost?

Do you go to the gym? Not anymore, cancelled my membership earlier this year.

How much is the membership?  I was paying $12 per week for Les Mills (because I joined in 1999) but memberships there are now about $25 per week.

 

I also intend to start running soon, once the weather is a bit more reliable.  I used to walk a lot but I don't have the time for a great fat burning walk anymore.

yoga class twice a week and swimming when I can

an hour

Do you see a Personal Trainer?
nope

How much do they cost?

Do you go to the gym?
my yoga centre is kind of like a gym (as in you pay monthly membership for unlimited group classes) but I don't belong to a regular gym, no. We also have a gym in our condo club house but I haven't used it since I got pregnant!

Do you have an exercise routine? Kinda

What is it? I make sure I go to step and stretch class each week and into the weights room 3 times a week

How many days a week do you exercise? 5

How long is each session? Varies, Step and Stretch are 50 minutes, and when I go to the weights room it depends how busy it is in there (think how many army men are in there).

Do you see a Personal Trainer? Yes, I see her twice a week at step and stretch and usually at the gym as well. We can ask her anything and everything and she helps us all the time.

How much do they cost? She is free, due to me being a dependant of an defence force personal, but we don't have appointments with her, it is pot luck if you are at the gym when she is there too.

Do you go to the gym? Yes

How much is the membership? Free as I am a dependant of a defence force personal.

Do you have an exercise routine? Yeap before pregnancy. I trained for an ironman big triathlon) which took 14 hours to complete. Doing 9 sessions a week, 3 swim, 3 bike, 3 run.

Now I pregnant do I have an exercise routine?... is sitting on the couch classed an endurance event?

Yes I'm bad.
Yes I know that being fit will help with pregnancy and labour.
Can I get off the couch. No not today....
But I promise I feel guilty about it and as soon as it stops raining I'll get out there again.
